Seoul – Over 400 dog meat restaurants and hundreds more so-called “Health Food Shops” which commonly sell “dog elixir”, are in this capital city of South Korea. This is devastating!!! Seoul had connected as a Friendship City with London, UK just a couple of years ago. Let’s ask for London’s help in fighting this horrific trade. We have added many new Sister/Friendship campaigns. Please take the action TODAY!

Busan Korea Alliance for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Busan KAPCA)and Kookje newspaper reported the below story:

The footage contains pictures of seven or eight large Dosa dogs in a tiny and rusty metal cage with no space in which to move. During the course of the trade, dogs that were not cooperating were jabbed with iron sticks. One struggling dog is shown being grabbed by the collar. It is estimated that there are several hundreds of dogs in metal cages that are lined up in vacant lot. The dogs were being sold for 400,000 to 600,000 Korean won each, and it was estimated that up to 250 dogs were being sold daily.

The Dog Meat Professionals: Investigating the South Korean dog meat trade by James Hyams is now available at Amazon.com.

From the author: This book is a by-product of the most in-depth and balanced investigative documentary into the dog meat trade in South Korea to date. To get the information to write this book and produce the documentary, we went deep into the world of the dog meat farmers, slaughterers, and activists and have consequently exposed the realities of the dog meat trade from birth, growth, reproduction, slaughter, and consumption. For activists, this journey is about saving the dogs. For the dog meat association, dog farmers and merchants, this journey is about maintaining their livelihood. Both parties believe mistruths about the dog meat industry which are perpetuated by international animal activists.
